The copyboard uses a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) image sensor to read the diagrams and text that have
been written down with special (4-color) markers, and accumulates the image data in internal memory. The
sheet surface's image data is printed out from the printer when the Color Print (
) or B/W Print ( ) button is
pressed, or stored as image data on the USB memory device or in the main unit's internal memory when the
Save (
) button is pressed.
